| Summary: | The Southern Africa Tuberculosis and Health Systems Support (SATBHSS) Project is a regional initiative aimed at improving coverage and quality of tuberculosis (TB) control and occupational lung disease services and strengthening regional capacity to manage these diseases. The Project is supported by the World Bank, in partnership with the Governments of Lesotho, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia. The African Union Development Agency-New Partnership for Africa’s Development (AUDA-NEPAD) and the East, Central and Southern Africa Health Community (ECSA-HC) are the regional technical implementation entities. During the course of 2019, key milestones that were achieved included the opening of the first-ever occupational hygiene laboratory in Mozambique, completion of the strategy planning session for the Centre of Excellence in Zambia, capacity development in the four countries, and occupational health and safety (OHS) advocacy at the OSHAfrica Conference in South Africa and the 50th Union World Conference on Lung Health in India. |
